It’s easy to feel like you should have a village around you during motherhood and business. But what happens when that village doesn’t show up?

In this episode of the Maternity Leave Roadmap series, I’m talking about the two forms of support that matter most in this season: community and intuition. I share personal stories of navigating early motherhood and entrepreneurship without nearby family support, and how I found clarity and confidence by trusting myself and building a community that actually gets it. Whether you’re still finding your people or learning how to hear your inner voice, this episode will remind you that you’re not doing it wrong—you’re doing something brave.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why community often looks different than we expect
• How to find support that understands your season and goals
• What it means to “lone wolf” some of your growth and decision-making
• How trusting yourself can lead to better choices in business and motherhood
• Why finding aligned support creates clarity and confidence for your family

This Episode’s Homework:
Identify one area where you’ve been seeking outside validation. Pause and ask yourself what you truly want. Then, consider what kind of community would best support you in making that choice and take one step toward building it.
